Sometimes life gets blurry and we don't always notice the beauty within our lives. It often takes tragedy or moments of great joy. I have spent a long time lately thinking about how to be more positive within our lives!
Then the headlines is that a friend and colleague of my Sister and Brother-in-law's was killed in a very tragic accident. I am so sad for the family and friends he leaves behind! He was young only 58 and some may say that is old but I have always believed that age is a mental state not a number!
So take some time out to thank, cherish and enjoy your days you will be better off for it and so will those around you!
I am incredibly grateful that I have an amazing family including my sister Sandra and with her family!
That I have an amazing husband whom I don't always agree with but I have the privilege each and everyday to argue with him!
I have choices with my everyday life and I choose to cuddle my kids and nurture them. I choose to bake cookies, read stories and tickle than clean my house!
And each night I am grateful to my children's birth family for the gift I have in raising the most amazing children and not all of them get to see the joy I do most days!
I am always happy to crawl into the bed at the end of the day! Then I think about all my friends I didn't email, call or the jobs I was meant to do!
So thank you for all the support I get from you daily! I do value it!
To all those cyber friends who read my blog I am thankful!
Know it is really important when I get a comment!
Hugs Ruth

Ruth it is funny how our thought parallel each others from time to time. i have been doing a lot of this kind of thinking of late and was working on a grateful post for the near future on my blog. Life is precious and I often forget to be grateful for what i have. Thanks for the reminder to take time and smell the Azaleas...
Hugs

Ruth you always have the most amazing view of our world - even though we no longer share the day to day lives of our families - know that we appreciate all your input and the joy that we have experienced together on our journey so far - we look forward to spending more time together as and when we are all able - I look forward to seeing how our children grow into beautiful young adults and further.
We have so much more to experience together. Thanks for being the person that you are.
